Sometimes
I want to be clever
compare you
to mountain heather
Be all poetic,
romantic and verbose
Ignite a fire
with verse and prose
Is that the best way,
though?
To say what I want to say?
no!
I could, perhaps
put it much simpler
Not try so hard
to be a wordy hustler
rather, just say
in a direct way
-
can we
you and me
just
lie together
hand in hand
heart to heart
forget the world
troubles, strife
if only
for a moment
-
watch the stars
feel the breeze
share a pause
just because
-
can we
you and me
two not one
just
lie together
-
watch the sun
rise and fall
forget it all
just for
a moment
a pause
-
can we
you and me
lie together

Loved this! Not saying hubba hubba here alright. Those earlier lines are particularly good “romantic and verbose, Ignite a fire, with verse and prose” and “put it much simpler, Not try so hard to be a wordy hustler”. ☺️👏 Excellent piece!
The romantic clever of the mountain heather drew me in, the simplicity convinced me, great work.
Beautiful,Paul, a love poem throughout the years. 🤩
This was so sweet! I loved it! 🍩🥐
Very nice Paul! Such a lovely sentiment. 😊
This is wonderful, heartfelt, wise (oh so wise) and romantic! You hit this one out of the park, Paul! Well done!
